Cassia Powder Food Additive

We are known for manufacturing, exporting and supplying Cassia Powder Food Additive in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Cassia Powder is a food additive made from the endosperm of cassia obtusifolia also known as senna obtusifolia or cassia tora. Cassia Powder is a naturally occurring polymer with mannose and galactose as its repeating units. Cassia gum forms high viscosity by swelling in water after it is boiled. Cassia gum is the purified flour from the endosperm of the seeds of cassia obtusifolia and cassia tora which belong to the leguminosae family. These seeds are generally contaminated with seeds from C.occidentals. The seeds that are used in the production of cassia gum are generally picked randomly from these contaminated seeds. Before the seed splitting process is started, the seeds of cassia obtusifolia and cassia tora are passed through grading machines to differentiate them on the basis of their size. During this procedure, the underdeveloped seeds are removed and C.occidentals seeds are reduced to no more than 0.05%. A composite sample of each fraction is given to the laboratory for inspection for the presence of C.occidentals. Cassia gum is primarily the ground purified endosperm of the seeds of Cassia tora and Cassia obtusifolia containing less than 0.1% of C.occidentals. The seeds are dehusked and de-germed by thermal mechanical treatment followed by milling and screening of the endosperm.
